Yes. StdinReader should be in commands and template section of your
.xmobarrc to display dynamicLog data sent to xmobar's stdin from xmonad.
(for example: workspaces, layout, title of focused window.)

There is an example .xmobarrc including StdinReader on the xmonad config
archive in John Goerzen's tutorial. [1]
